Trump takes action that angers the world, draws the nuclear arms agreement with Iran

This action does not mean that the US will withdraw immediately, but will give Congress 60 days to decide whether to do so by remanding sanctions, reports “BBC”, report Periscope.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has consulted his counterparts in Europe and China, officials say.

Trump has been under pressure both at home and abroad not to resolve the agreement.

Under the 2015 agreement, Iran agreed to freeze its nuclear programme in exchange for partially lifting sanctions.

President Trump has been a long critic of the deal and promised to lift it during his campaign.

Speculations that Trump may refuse to recycle the agreement has caused alarm among US allies and some members of his administration.

Defence Secretary James Mattis told the Senate hearing earlier this month that it was not in national interest to abandon him.

President Trump has named Iran's nuclear agreement “The worst negotiated agreement ever --” -- and threatened to tear it apart.

Critics of the deal fear it would isolate the US and weaken its credibility, as Iran is implementing the agreement.

Republicans have suggested that they can use decertification as leverage to get the changes they want.

Foreign leaders, including British Prime Minister Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron, have asked Trumpı to respect the agreement.

Trump recently reaffirmed his opposition to the deal, calling it “one of the most insignificant agreements I have ever seen”./Periscopi/
